AbstractAbstractWe report a case of ureterolithiasis in a patient with an en bloc kidney transplantation, using extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL). The patient presented with asymptomatic macrohematuria. Computed tomography revealed a ureteral calculus just below the pyeloureteral junction with hydronephrosis of the medially positioned kidney. Took two sessions of ESWL were required for complete disintegration of the stone. At 3 years after successful treatment, the patient has an excellent functioning and stone-free graft. Transplant Proc. 2011 Jun;43(5):2110-2. doi: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2011.03.031 PMID: 21693338 [PubMed - in process] CommentCommentThis is a report on successful ultrasound guided ESWL of a ureteral stone that developed in a patient with en bloc kidney transplant. The stone removal was accomplished with a total of 3500 shock waves given in two sessions with an interval of 10 days. Difficulties with ultrasound localization of stones in these patients are discussed by the authors. |
